Hello, folks.
Now I'm working under Redhat9+Linux 2.6
I modified kernel 2.6 to catch syscalls pretty much like strace and now I
need to catch
only network-related syscalls like send/receive.
I thought they're using socketcall syscall but I found that it's old scheme!
Now how they are implemented? which syscall they use?

Thanks a lot !
